So they sent and gathered together all the lords of the Philistines, and said, Send away the ark of the God of Israel, and let it go again to his own place, that it slay us not, and our people: for there was a deadly destruction throughout all the city; the hand of God was very heavy there.
So they sent {H7971} and gathered together {H622} all the lords {H5633} of the Philistines {H6430}, and said {H559}, Send away {H7971} the ark {H727} of the God {H430} of Israel {H3478}, and let it go again {H7725} to his own place {H4725}, that it slay {H4191} us not, and our people {H5971}: for there was a deadly {H4194} destruction {H4103} throughout all the city {H5892}; the hand {H3027} of God {H430} was very {H3966} heavy {H3513} there.
So they summoned all the leaders of the P'lishtim and said, "Send the ark of the God of Isra'el away! Let it go back to its own place, so that it won't kill us and our people!"- because death and panic pervaded the whole city; God's oppression was very heavy there.
Then the Ekronites assembled all the rulers of the Philistines and said, “Send away the ark of the God of Israel. It must return to its place, so that it will not kill us and our people!” For a deadly confusion had pervaded the city; the hand of God was heavy upon it.
They sent therefore and gathered together all the lords of the Philistines, and they said, Send away the ark of the God of Israel, and let it go again to its own place, that it slay us not, and our people. For there was a deadly discomfiture throughout all the city; the hand of God was very heavy there.
